Movie Thread - Cullnerd - Ad Astra is moon

[Loire]

...I liked prometheus

Yeah, i mean it has alot of faults. Wasnt the movie i wanted it to be but was probably the one we deserved...

I do not believe I deserved that incoherent pile of shit movie.

See? Now I could except that it was a bad movie, or slightly dense. I'd definately say it was convoluted but incoherent? It certainly was not incoherent. Only God Forgives was incoherent, Prometheus was just... derpy.

Dense implies it has some depth. It was shallow in the extreme. It's coherent the same way transformers was coherent. It makes perfect sense until you analyze it and it turns out to be completely retarded.

this is why we cant have nice things

I like it. I had questions. They got answered later. The retail box was supposed to have more info but didn't. Plenty of people have done explanations.



I picked up Oblivion recently. Wasn't expecting much but after hearing some good things from people here so I'm not so skeptical anymore.

[XenosisReaper]

Oblivion is basically what you get when you pay the special effects people 3 times more than the writers and throw Tom Cruise into the mix.

[RazoR]

Pay writers? For what? Typing up some words on a paper?

Now CGI guys... they can do some crazy shit!

Heh, typical Keyorthe. Never change, man.

If you actually think this video exercise of mowing down straw men redeems that movie, you'll probably absolutely love Oblivion. I don't think I can get through the full 28 minutes of this aspie tedium...

Pomethius was crushed under the weight of it's own expectations. It almost could never be what Fans wanted it to be.

As for Oblivion, I really liked it. Phillip K. Dick'ian IMO, in a big way. To each their own I suppose.

Yeah well it could make some fucking sense in any of the scenes for a start.

[Straight Hustlin]

We apparently don't have the technology.

[RazoR]

We apparently don't have the technology.

I think the rebuilding is going on quite nicely. ~Reinventing~ isn't.

While trying to find the full scene where that alien head explodes for no obvious reason in prometheus (apparently it's because the black goo just does that, although I don't recall any of the characters saying anything meaningful about why exactly that head exploded) I found this clip of pure awesome.

If I hadn't just +Repped you, I'd have to +Rep you for that vid. Good stuff, albeit it some of it VERY creepy. Animatroic see-through baby.....no thank you.

But it's just a movie, it's not supposed to make sense. You're just being an autist.

I will admit after managing to sit through the first 10 minutes of that video keorythe linked that it's possible to patch and fill the gaps by adding enough extraneous information, theories and hidden variables until every nonsensical event has an explanation. But you can do that sort of thing with literally every plot hole in every movie ever. Why was superman able to lift up a whole island made of kryptonite when the whole point of kryptonite is that it makes him lose his powers? Oh, well it's because he had applied an anti-kryptonite salve that is mentioned on the back of a napkin by one of the writers.

Still left with a generally disappointing movie.

OR because movies that mostly make sense provide a better viewing experience.

I'd say the difference between the two is: with Prometheus, everything stupid that happened was on the wtf scale of stupidity but not specifically impossible, as per the rules set down by the movies universe. Supe's lifting an entire god damn island of kryptonite is something that should very specifically be impossible according to the physical universe laid down in the Superman mythos.

Actually Superman burrows deep down under the Kryptonite landmass and puts shitloads of rock between him and the Kryptonite continent on top so he can then lift up the whole thing.

Don't get me wrong - the whole thing is still derpy and it was a shit film, but that's the justification for that particular plot element.
